The Rule About “Rooms”

by excellence | Apr 27, 2022 | Uncategorized

When a prefix for “room” has one syllable, the compound word is one word: bathroom, bedroom, boardroom.

When a prefix for “room” has more than one syllable, then there is no compound: living room, dining room.

This headline is incorrect. You’d think The Washington Post would know better:

Twitter’s takeover signals a growing type of threat to corporate board rooms
